Courtney Lawes has been ruled out of England’s opening autumn international against Argentina, forcing Eddie Jones to appoint a new captain for Sunday’s fixture, but Jonny May has made a shock return to the squad and could face the Pumas.
Owen Farrell, who is also undergoing the return-to-play concussion protocols has been included in England’s training squad and would be the favourite for the captaincy if he is passed fit. Tom Curry and Ellis Genge are also candidates.
